Virginia Giuffre Offers Clues About Jeffrey Epstein’s Political Clients in Posthumous Memoir: All the Unnamed Politicians She Describes

Virginia Giuffre’s posthumous memoir, Nobody’s Girl: A Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice, reveals disturbing accounts of the trafficking and abuse she endured at the hands of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell — and the powerful network of celebrities, politicians, and businessmen who orbited them.

While Giuffre offered unflinching detail about the sexual assault and coercion she faced, she left several of the most recognizable figures unnamed, instead providing subtle hints about their identities.

“I came to be trafficked to a multitude of powerful men,” she wrote. “Among them were a gubernatorial candidate who was soon to win an election in a Western state and a former U.S. senator.”

She explained that Epstein often failed to introduce her to his associates, and that she later identified some of them by recognizing faces in photographs of his social circle.

Giuffre had previously alleged in a 2016 deposition that she was directed to have sex with former New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson and former Maine Sen. George Mitchell—both of whom denied the claims and were never charged.

One of the book’s most harrowing passages describes her encounter with an unnamed political figure.

“Just when I thought things couldn’t get worse for me, they did,” she wrote. “Epstein trafficked me to a man who raped me more savagely than anyone had before.”

Giuffre identified the man only as a “well-known prime minister,” alleging that he choked her until she lost consciousness and mocked her pleas for him to stop. She said she left the assault bleeding and traumatized.

She recalled begging Epstein not to send her back to the politician. “I don’t know if Epstein feared the man or if he owed him a favor, but he wouldn’t make any promises,” she wrote. “‘You’ll get that sometimes,’ he said coldly.”

Although she withheld the names of the governor, senator, and prime minister, Giuffre did describe other high-profile figures who had once been close to Epstein.

She recounted alleged encounters with Prince Andrew, claiming he correctly guessed she was 17 before they had sex for the first time.

“In the years since, I’ve thought a lot about how he behaved,” she wrote. “He was friendly enough, but still entitled — as if he believed having sex with me was his birthright.”

Former President Bill Clinton was not listed among the men who assaulted her, though Giuffre referenced his broader connection to Epstein and Maxwell. Clinton has consistently denied any wrongdoing.

“Maxwell was proud of her friendships with famous people,” Giuffre wrote. “She loved to talk about how easily she could get former President Bill Clinton on the phone; she and Epstein had visited the White House together when Clinton was in office.”

Clinton wasn’t the only president linked to Epstein. Donald Trump, who once called Epstein a “terrific guy” in a 2002 interview with New York magazine, has also faced scrutiny over their past friendship.

At a recent press conference on Capitol Hill, several of Epstein’s alleged victims, including former actress Chauntae Davies, spoke about the financier’s ties to Trump.

“[Epstein’s] biggest brag, forever, was that he was very good friends with Donald Trump,” Davies said. “He had an 8×10 framed picture of him on his desk, with the two of them. They were very close.”

The press conference was part of a bipartisan push urging the Trump administration to release the so-called “Epstein files.” Although Trump once promised to make the documents public during his campaign, both he and senior members of his administration — including Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel — have since avoided fulfilling that pledge, even after being questioned under oath.
